I'M BACK JACK!!...

Just want to say high to everyone. I'm back from Hell, but the back of my shorts are still burning. I am tryed to take care of a cocktail of illnesses. Anyone have any comments or ideas on keeping a type A personality sane when having major depression, (2) other life threatening ailments, and (2) teenage children? I have been hitting the books hard I cannot finds any answers that suit my fancy, so I decided to do what everyone is doing....Write a book!. I have had 51 years experience on physical and emotional pain, I just may need an editer. Any one have an eppiffany lately? Perfect timing an AC/DC song is on.

Also, there is still a lot of anger from me towards because I recognized later how...

Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...
